We are thrilled to announce the formation of the Circularis BioCluster, a new clustering initiative co-created by PROMISEANG (Grant Agreement ID: 101112378), VALORISH (Grant Agreement ID: 101135078), and ONE EARTH (Grant Agreement ID: 101135559). This strategic alliance unites three Horizon Europe-funded projects to amplify their impact through coordinated communication, shared technical efforts, and cross-sector innovation.
A shared vision for sustainable resource valorisation
The Circularis BioCluster is born from a joint commitment to drive the sustainable transformation of bio-based residues—particularly from animal and marine sources—into high-value applications for food, feed, agriculture, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. By pooling our expertise and resources, we aim to foster circular value chains and accelerate the market adoption of sustainable bioproducts.
Key areas of collaboration
Together, our projects are addressing some of the most critical challenges and opportunities in the circular bioeconomy:
- Valorisation of animal and marine by-products
Developing innovative processes to convert biological residues into valuable compounds. - Biorefineries for high-value bio-based products, with a focus on:
- Advanced fermentation techniques
- Circular waste valorisation strategies
- Scaling up operations towards industrial implementation
- Computational modelling and digital optimisation of microbial processes
- Sustainability assessment
Analysing the environmental, economic, and social impact of circular bio-based systems. - Market deployment
Supporting the integration of sustainable bioproducts into key sectors like nutraceuticals, fertilisers, cosmetics, and aquaculture feed.
Activities and strategic collaboration
The Circularis BioCluster will undertake a range of joint activities, including:
- Regular coordination meetings to exchange insights and identify technical synergies
- Collaborative webinars and workshops for knowledge-sharing and stakeholder engagement
- Cross-communication campaigns to raise awareness and amplify our collective voice
- Joint participation in scientific and industry events
- Co-authored scientific publications and policy briefs to influence sustainable bioeconomy strategies
With the launch of the Circularis BioCluster, PROMISEANG and our cluster partners are setting the stage for stronger innovation, broader visibility, and lasting impact in the field of circular bioeconomy. Stay tuned for more updates, events, and breakthroughs as we work together to turn biological residues into tomorrow’s sustainable solutions.
